Printer Driver wont work after upgrade to 10.6

I just updated my OS to 10.6.8 (from 10.5x), and my printer driver won't work right. I have a Samsung ML-3051ND. I wasn't able to make double-sided copies, so i downloaded and installed the latest version (supposedly 10.6 friendly) from the Samsung website. Now, whenever I try to print I get an error message saying my printer driver isn't installed correctly, please try again. I did reinstall, following the directions from the Samsung website. Still the same error message. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

OK, I found an answer that works on the MacRumors forum.
In system pref>printer & faxes> on the left side, you should have a list of printers. You need to right click in the white box andreset printing system. This deletes all the printers. Then add theprinter. It worked like a champ after that.

Printer Driver wont work

I run an Epson 9800 printer on iMac 10.5.8 which has worked fine until I ran a security and bluetooth update and now it just wont see the printer at all. Ive deleted the driver and downloaded it again but when i go to Add new printer its just not showing up at all, can anyone help?

First try Reset Printing System:

If it doesn't help, try repairing the hard drive ("Try Disk Utility"):

Hello teperepc,
Take a look at this page for trouleshooting your cd/dvd drive not working. About those other programs - do they freeze every time you use them? Do any other programs freeze, or just the audio/video stuff?
Thanks,

I have windows 7 and EasyLink wont work neither will 192.168.1.1

I have windows 7 and EasyLink wont work. Now I tried the 192.168.1.1 and even that wont work! I have a WRT54GS and I know it works because when I usee the two laptops connected to it, it works perfectly except when too many users get on my wifi connection then it overloads

I'd suggest trying a factory reset, that should clear any password that was set and forgotten, as well as any settings that are preventing you from talking to it (like the router address having been set to something other than 192.168.1.1).
There's usually a recessed reset button on the back that is accessed via an "unrolled" paperclip. Just press that button and count to about 30, and then wait until the router comes up again and try the 192.168.1.1 address.
If you have a cable modem, then I'd suggest that you write down the MAC address of the primary computer that was used to configure the router, and then try changing the MAC address on the router to that when you get back in touch with it (via the 192.168.1.1 web GUI). The factory reset may change the router back to it's original MAC address, which may prevent your cable modem from being happy.

I find I am unable to print any photo because the program "Can't find a theme and the Print command wont work without at least one theme. How can I overcome this problem?

It's supported. Open System Preferences > Print and Scan, press + button and press your printer

C# console app - print job vanishes in Windows 8 regardless of print driver used; works in Windows 7

I have the following which sends a print file to a specific printer. It works perfectly in Windows 7, but not in Windows 8. The print job shows in the print queue until the print job is closed. Then the print job literally vanishes from the print
queue. This issue occurs with all print drivers, including generic text only. Conversely, I can still use the "winspool.drv" DLL directly under Windows 8 and it works. Please advise. Thank you.
Here is my code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Printing;
namespace PrinterLib
public static class PrintToSpooler
public static string SendFileToPrinter(string szPrinterName, string szFileName, string docName)
try
// Create the printer server and print queue objects
//PrintQueue defaultPrintQueue = LocalPrintServer.GetDefaultPrintQueue();
//PrintQueue mypq = new PrintServer().GetPrintQueue(szPrinterName);
//using (var printq = defaultPrintQueue)
using (var printq = new PrintServer().GetPrintQueue(szPrinterName))
using (PrintSystemJobInfo job = printq.AddJob(docName))
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
FileStream fs = new FileStream(szFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.None);
fs.CopyTo(memoryStream);
fs.Close();
Byte[] myByteBuffer = memoryStream.ToArray();
// Write a Byte buffer to the JobStream and close the stream
job.JobStream.Write(myByteBuffer, 0, myByteBuffer.Length);
job.JobStream.Flush();
printq.Commit();
return null;
catch (Exception ex)
return ex.Message;

Hello folks,
I have been facing the same problem until right now. All above suggested methods failed (as it did for Jeff0123) . But after long research on that issue I think I found the reason (but no proper solution yet).
MS Windows 8 and 2012 use a new printer driver generation based on XPS. Which means drivers like "generic text-only" won't work properly depending on the method the data is sent to the printer. In my case the
same way like Jeff0123 tried to access the printers.
See link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2779300
One solution might be to use API calls. I have also found a site which shows an example project for thermal slip printing. The VB.NET source code there features a wrapper class for all API calls. The functions you find behave pretty similar to the ones of
the posted C# code example of Jeff0123. I did a small test so far and for my needs that works fine.
Although the page is in German you can find the mentioned class by searching for "Public
Class RawPrinter". Beside the comments the class methods are written in English. You find the class here: http://www.vbarchiv.net/tipps/tipp_2375-kassenbon-drucker-mit-vbnet-oder-c-per-esc-pos-befehle-ansprechen.html
Hope that might help for at least a few of you. So long!

Printer Spooler wont work even trying to start it.

Printer Spooler has stop working for some unknown reason? Tried to get it to start, its stating it hasnt got enough resources. I went into control panel to open windows updates folder wont open and computer froze. Tried many ways to get in and I cant access
it. I have a new Canon MX922 drivers are online for windows 8.1 wont allow me to download due to printer spooler. I'm really lost at this point..Please help?? Thank you!

Hello Lschreiv,
If my understanding is right, the Printer Spooler is not running, if you want to start it, it gives the error message ‘it hasn’t got enough resources’.
Do you mean that you can’t open Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update?
Do you mean you can’t install the new printer driver due to the printer spooler? What error message do you receive?
Additionally， have you made any change before this issue？
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories and run printer troubleshooter
2. Disable the service Printer Spooler, uninstall the old printer driver, and then download and install the new printer driver
Best regards,

LaserJet 1020 Windows 7 x64 driver not working!

Hello. I have problem. I have recently installed Windows 7 x64, and when I tried to install driver for my LaserJet 1020 from this site, an error appeared.
First, when I launched the driver installer, I agreed with license agreement and proceeded. Than, loading bar appeared, it came to 3 division sticks in it and text above was like "Preinstalling the driver files". Then, suddenly, for a split-second "Copying files to the hard drive." text appeared, than again "Preinstalling the driver...", and it appeared again for less than a second, and again, and again... Than, after a few times, it just crushed, with Windows message "Printer Software Installer" is not working".
And one more: in Program Files -> HP folder there are lots of driver files (which seem not to be working) and another HP folder with same file and HP folder in it... Recursion of some kind, I think.
So, what should I do? I can't use my printer for a long time because of this driver!
I'm haven't spoken English for a while, so, if I explained something strange, ask, I'll try to explain better =)
This question was solved.

Who is awesome? I'm awesome! ^_^
I used russian version of the driver, worked flawlessly =)
Take it from here. Glad, if I could help =)

Cd drive wont work

hello guys my cd drive on my i mac wont work, it tries to rad the disk for 2 seconds and then spits it back out, it makes no difference if its a cd or a dvd, anyone have any ideas??

ive been experiencing the same thing. I searched the archives here to see if i could find anything similar and found only one answer that seemed to help. That ws to go to your applications. Click on disk utilities. Click on your hard drive in the left hand column and then click on verify repair. After its done shut down the computer. Then turn it back on and see if that helps with the problem. I seem to be able to have some success with this but i noticed that everytime i turn my computer off and turn it back on i have to go through the same steps again . Let me know if you do this and how it works for you . If its a permenant solution or like mine where its only temporary and you keep having to repeat the steps.

Fix acrobat 10.1.9 - print driver wont funtion after update

After the 10.1.9 update in acrobat X. I can no longer print to teh print driver from other applications. It goes to print and then fails with error message in printer que.
I've tried to reload update but no change. What to do?

Anoop
The error message was in the printer que and would just state " Error printing" under status.
I think I have fixed it for now. I deleted the adobe printer listed another as my default and re ran the update. This created a new printer and I changed it back to my default printer and it has worked a couple of times so far. We'll see how long it lasts.
This is not the first time I've had an issue like this. The adobe printer has failed several times on me in the past, mostly only failing on occasion until it gets worse to the point of not working. It's frustratng to print something and have nothing happen or maybe it will. I'm wondering now if it has been becuase of an update. Every once in a while my computer will quit printing to the adobe printer and I have to go through a blind man's redo this change that repair until it starts working again for some reason. Mostly in the past I have been able to delete and recreate the printer to get it working again. This time it wouldn't work even after fixing the update, reloading the update, re-running the update. The thing I changed when it did work was to delete the printer and list another printer as my default. When I reran the update it created a new printer that worked??????????
So far - you are the only help I have found with this issue. I and our IT guy have spent alot of time looking for something on this issue and find nothing. If you have any light to shed on this I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Notebook dv8285ea with Windows 7: Sound driver not working

On my Notebook dv8285ea (bought in 2006), that came with Windows XP, I have mounted a new SSD drive and installed Windows 7 Prof (32 bit). - It works fine except for one problem: There is no sound from the speakers. I get error messages such as "No Audio Output Device installed". That is: The Sound part of the motherboard is not compatible with the Windows 7 sound driver.
Can anyone point to a solution? - The dv8285 is not among the notebooks that HP has provided Win7 drivers for.
